"I realized recently that it’s been a while since we’ve seen an incel mass
murderer. Because, really, for a time there, it seemed like something of an
endless parade of angry young men going on murder sprees over not being able to
get laid. It occurred to me the reason for this may be that, while they’re
probably still not getting laid, they’re certainly less alone now. “Incel
culture” has become mainstream on the Right. They hate women like incels. They
talk like incels. Terms like “foid” (short for “femoid” or “female android”),
“looksmaxxing,” “______ mogged,” “the wall” have entered their lexicon. Many of
them are straight up turning themselves into incels just by hating women and
various other groups of people so much that they are repulsive to women.
These days, they don’t have to go to dark corners of the internet in order to
share their insane theories about women, to be told by other men that they are
inherently superior to women, that women are crazy and evil and that giving
them rights has ruined everything. They just have to go over to X The
Everything App or to YouTube or, you know, listen to a sizeable majority of the
mainstream male Republican pundits.
There are even more than a few women they can listen to. Women who will gladly
tweet and stream and podcast all about how they think feminism and the sexual
revolution ruined everything for women as well, who will even claim they want
to #RepealThe19th because of how stupid and crazy we all are.
But that sort of pretense isn’t easy to maintain, especially once it’s no
longer serving you. Thus, we’ve increasingly seen stories about alt-right women
defecting from the movement after they have “seen the light” and suddenly come
to realize that these men don’t actually like them, either. This week, we’ve
got one in
New York mag.
They all have pretty much the same story at this point. They fell into all of
it because they were mad about “woke scolds” and thought it was cool and
rebellious to embrace far-right ideology, because they enjoyed the attention
they got for repeating anti-feminist talking points and maybe even believed
that they’d rather be stay-at-home moms — literally nothing wrong with that! No
one cares! Go and be well! — or that working instead of raising children was
making women “crazy.” Then they realized, at some point — whether because they
ended up in a pretty bad domestic violence situation like Lauren Southern, or
because their baby daddy let his acolytes post AI child sexual abuse images of
them on his social media site as happened to Ashley St. Clair, or because they
realized that the Right did not actually allow for differing opinions or
criticism, or because they realized that the men they were sucking up to hated
their guts as much as they hate ours."
